Thailand - Pad Thai

Pad Thai
What it is: Stir-fried noodles with shrimp and/or meat
Why it placed where it did: That nighttime staple of many a Seamless/GrubHub order is, obviously, such a popular dish with good reason. Sweet and savory, pad Thai is a powerhouse of a dish whose only weakness is that peeps with peanut allergies usually can't touch it.
